Pyroclast, Infernace Conservator

rauyran

What is this assistant?

The description says: "Hailing from the pocket realm of infernace, Pyroclast will holdfast your items (or the items of your groupmates) in the fiery pits of oblivion. Minor scorching may occur."

Is it a banker or does it deconstruct? It really should say.

Well seeing as holdfast means "a firm grip", I'd assume it was a banker summon. Especially when the other is a merchant.

The "minor scorching may occur" is just flavor text as the atronach "stores" the items in the its home plane of Infernace.

It's a bug or a new "feature" that i can't use this in vet trial?

I just got the merchant blue one and it's the coolest assistant ever. It's awesome it does a special interaction animation. It's very cool

I passed over this and bought a different banker because I thought it was a deconstruction assistant. Idk why the **** they can't just tell you directly what it is in the description. So many of these descriptions are ambiguous as hell.

Well, if you think you can control yourself and be polite with them instead of angry, maybe if you file a ticket and ask if you can swap because you thought she was something different, they might consider helping out.

The pyroclast (orange fire atronach) is the banker and the hoarforst (blue cold-fire atronach) is the merchant in this new set of assistants.

The word ''conservator'' in infernace conservator made it clear to me it was a banker.

I did. Bleeping it out for sensitive individuals is the very definition of being polite. If a bleeped swear is considered bothersome or impolite nowadays, I'm not sure what to say. Sorry if I offended I suppose.

As for the rest, I've never known ZOS to be accommodating about things like this. Purchases are final, or so I've always been led to believe. I'm pretty sure they say that somewhere but I don't remember where.

I wasn't referring to me, or any of your fellow players reading your post.
I was referring to how you decide to communicate with Customer Service if you make a ticket.

The definition of control would be to not use language that needs to be bleeped out in the first place.

Because, sure, if you go at them like that, they aren't going to help.

But if you ask politely, (and I suppose if it was a recent purchase rather than weeks or months ago) they might make a one-time swap for you (things like that do happen; I've had it happen myself, which is why I suggested it), since there was confusion over what type of assistant Pyroclast was.

Or, stick to your definition of control and see where that gets you.

I'm just really not sure why the language (lack thereof, actually) bothered you so much, or what world you're living in where that indicates a lack of control (swearing is extremely common), or why you think a bleeped out swear gives you the right to turn to nastiness. Again, I'm really sorry if I offended you, but please dump your moral outrage elsewhere. I'd hope we're all mature enough here to handle a bleeped out swear 🙄

But to get the topic back on track, I'm personally not gonna bother ZOS about changing my assistant. After all, I'm not unhappy with my dark elf banker. I just think they should have some extra clarity is all. I'm fine with their colorful descriptions of these assistants, but it would be nice if they also specifically stated whether NPCs were bankers, decon assistants, etc. Hell (sorry!), as a returning player, I didn't even know decon assistants had been added to the game, and I couldn't tell from the descriptions of the existing ones that that's what they did. If they had a tag somewhere in their tooltip saying "Deconstruction Assistant" that would be very helpful.

Life is generally easier if one is polite when dealing with other people. I'd expect customer service if asked politely would remove the wrong thing and either refund or swap to correct thing if they have the tools to do it. If it's something they can not do, swearing and yelling to them would not help.

Pyroclast also performs that interaction animation.

And both of he Blackfeather Crow assistants have a similar thing; they fly up to you and perch on your forearm while you are interacting with them.
